These Coach platform cork wedge sandals are super cute and will definetly make you stand out! These will generously 4.5 inches to your height but thankfully due to the platform, your foot is only walking on 2.5” heel. The sides are made of a natural cork & nueteral rope material (classy & goes with anything) the top is a red/ almost bright coral leather with signature coach C logo canvas details. I put a coach purse in some photos that has Red leather on it to compare color. These were worn one night to a beach themed wedding reception. Very light wear on bottom, smoke free home. *The size on shoe says 7.5 but I wear 8.5. I did have the straps on looser setting and was comfortable. But I would think sz 8 would be ideal because friend who tried on to buy is sz 7.5 and she had on one of the smaller settings & passed because her feet are narrow/ was worried that as shoes broke in they might get bigger.
